It works good with this additional line in hddtemp.db.

"WDC WD740ADFD-00NLR1"                                          194 C "Western
Digital SATA Raptor 74GB 16MB"

BTW: It doesn't work if i put this line in hddgentoo.db. Maybe it is not read
by the hddtemp-daemon?

This needs to go upstream, not to Gentoo. Thanks.

Actually we're now handling new hdd db submissions within Gentoo as well. The
reason for this is that the author of hddtemp has a large backlog of new db
entries and no time to process them. Hopefully this will only be a temporary
solution.

The entry has been added to the DB. You'll need to remerge hddtemp for it to
start working.

Oh well... I don't see what's so hard about automating the DB additions. Not a
hddtemp-specific issue, same thing with pciids and usbids, noone actually cares
about the submissions, they just keep rotting upstream. :/
